為了避免這樣的窘境，今天我們分享以下10個和旅行有關的習語，它們每一個都能找到對應的中文表達，形象又貼切。
1. bad news travels fast - when something bad happens, a lot of people hear about it very, very quickly.
- 壞事傳千里；
從字面意思就很好理解, “壞的消息旅行的很快”。這種事全世界都一樣，“好事不出門，壞事傳千里”，只要誰有點不好的事發生，馬上就家喻戶曉，特別是在辦公室，學校，鄰里間。
e.g. Behave yourself because bad news travels fast.
2. （talk）mile a minute/a mile a minute - something is happening at a very rapid pace.
- 話語連珠；
“一分鐘一英里”，意思就是速度很快。那這組詞可以用在說話上，也可以說某人”思緒很快“。
e.g. your mind is going a mile a minute.
3. off the beaten track - this refers to a little-known location or a place that not a lot of people know about.
- 人跡罕見的地方；
“不在被打敗的軌跡”，換句話說就是這個地方不是熱門的，比如旅遊來說，那就不是熱門景點；也可以是不太起眼的小飯店。
e.g. My favorite restaurant is a tiny Indian place down the street. It's really off the beaten track.
4. hit the road - begin your journey or your trip.
- 出發；
“敲打路“，這裡road其實就是出門旅行的意思，所以它也可以說成“上路了”。
e.g. We're all packed, let's hit the road.
5. jump on the bandwagon - it means to join an activity that has become popular.
- 趕時髦；
“跳上花車“，是不是特別形象？比如你買了最新款的手機，限量版的球鞋，那就可以這麼說。
e.g. I'm jumping on the bandwagon.
6. in the same boat - It means to be in the same circumstances or situation as others.
- 同病相憐；
“在同一條船裡”，意思是你和別人有相同或者相似的情況，境遇相同。
e.g. I'm so tired, I only slept two hours last night. I'm in the same boat. I stayed up all night to study for the physics exam.
7. travel light - when you travel light, you travel without a lot of luggage.
- 輕裝出行；
“輕旅行”，這兩個字放一起的意思就是旅行或者出遠門的時候，帶的行李很少很輕。
e.g. As much as I like to travel light, I always end up with a suitcase that's too full.
8. missed the boat - means to miss an opportunity.
- 錯失良機；
“錯過船”，還是和boat有關的習語，它的意思是錯過機會，而且是一次又一次的錯過。
e.g. He missed the boat when he didn't apply for the job in time.
9. train of thought - refers to the sequence of thoughts in your mind.
- 思路；
“想法的訓練“，一般這個習語會和lost (lose) 用在一起，通常都是當你在說某件事，或者腦子裡在安排某些事的時候突然被打斷，此時你就lost your train of thought.
e.g. I completely lost my train of thought when the doorbell rang.
10. right up my alley - to describe something that is exactly how we want/like it, or that's something that we're passionate about.
- 我的菜，正合我意；
“在我的巷子裡“，意思就是某樣東西，某件事是你喜歡的，你把它納入旗下。類似的說法還有，i'm a fan of../my cup of tea.
e.g. I believe to be a doctor is really right up my alley.
